One thing that was refreshing, in terms of women examining fandom, was a lack of focus on slash and an acknowledgment of the much more diverse ways people interact with fandom. I did get a bit tired of the emphasis on "squee!" though. As a term for a particular kind of reaction, I like squee, and I like the way squeeing is now a recognised part of loving a show. But I dislike it as some kind of badge of membership or some kind of marker of the lines between "male" and "female" (or old-skool and new-skool) fandom, and I in some ways I find an over-emphasis on squeeing as an activity, infantilises fans by implying that some kind of initial gut-reaction to a piece is as far as we ever get.
